The End of the World: Chaos

"You are right. Time is meaningless to me." The sound of the 'qin' is soft and moving, like a gentle breeze, quietly stirring the heartstrings.

Yang Yi cleared his throat, trying to break the suffocating atmosphere, and slowly asked: "However, time is of vital importance to me. I can't waste too much time here, especially since your interest in me is really incomprehensible to me."

Qin smiled lightly, her eyes twinkling with mischief, as if she was pondering his troubles: "You might as well think about how a 'little' person could attract the favor of such a powerful being? This itself is a puzzle, isn't it?"

Yang Yi rolled his eyes helplessly: "No, what I want to know is, what do you want to get from me?"

"What do you want?" Qin repeated softly, with a hint of resentment in her voice. "Perhaps, only you can solve this mystery. But no matter what, I will continue to wait here quietly and stare at you."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yi was secretly worried, and intuitively felt that this matter was far from being as simple as he had imagined.

"In short, my observations and choices about you are all my interests." Qin's smile was like the spring sunshine that spread all over the earth, becoming brighter and brighter. "Don't you want to know? What will your future be like?"

"I long to know the future, but I never want to become a plaything of others!" Yang Yi's heart trembled, and he wanted to refute, but he was speechless in her deep and unpredictable eyes.

"Playing? Oh, you underestimate me." Qin smiled slightly, with a brilliance in her eyes that seemed impossible to look directly at. "But I do like to witness the struggle of human beings when making choices. It's a lot of fun."

"You..." Yang Yi felt confused, the anger in his heart was like a raging fire, "Do you really treat me as a plaything?"

"This is not my intention, but fate often plays tricks on us like this." Qin's tone was as calm as a lake, without any wind or waves, as if everything was under her control.

"So, I can't reject your curiosity at all?" Yang Yi was secretly heavy, feeling more helpless and oppressed in his heart, "You don't care about my feelings?"

"Feelings?" Qin blinked slightly, expressionless, "What I care about is the choice. However, people's feelings are often just a trickle of the selection process."

"If so, you have undeniable control over my future?" Yang Yi was shocked and took a step back. "I must not become a pawn in your hands!"

"Chess piece?" Qin smiled softly, like a bright star in the night sky, illuminating the four directions with warmth. "How do you know what a chess piece is? In this world, no one can completely control the fate of others. Your choice is your only right."

Yang Yi was silent, with many questions in his mind, but he had no words to express them.

"If you don't believe me, just give it a try." Qin tilted her head slightly, her eyes flickering with cunning, as if she was hinting, "I'm always here, waiting for your choice."

"Are you challenging me?" Yang Yi was not one to compromise easily. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he had already made up his mind and would never retreat. "You may not be able to take away my right to choose."

"Challenge? Perhaps that's the way it can be understood." Qin smiled, exuding an invisible charm. "But, listen carefully. The consequences will be at your own risk."

"I will bear the consequences of every choice I make." Yang Yi took a deep breath, and stood tall with a determined look in his eyes. "So, can you tell me, what should I choose?"

Qin was stunned for a moment, then laughed like a clear bell, pleasant to the ear: "Your courage amazes me, but the real question is: which path will you choose?"

A light flashed in Yang Yi's mind, and an idea came to his mind: "If what you said is true, the choice is in my hands, and I am willing to make a deal with you.

"Trade?" Qin's smile became more mysterious, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "What do you want to exchange for it?"

"It's nothing more than the information I can provide, or the help I can provide." Yang Yi thought for a moment.

"Help each other and achieve success together?" Qin seemed to think for a moment, and her expression gradually became serious. "This is indeed the best strategy. I hope you can take up the promise."

"I have my own abilities." Yang Yi answered without hesitation.
